As Good As You Can Be Poem by Francis Duggan

You may not be at the top of the social tree
But you can only be as good as you can be
If you keep on trying you will have your day
In life you win some and lose some it does seem this way
Indeed life can be compared to the game of football
You well may win some but you cannot win them all
Sometimes you may be found to be wanting when put to the test
But no cause for regret if you give it your best
To the winners the glory is how it does seem
And disappointments in life bad for one's self esteem
And though losing is a thing anyone does not choose
For you for to win someone else has to lose
With life has it's winners and losers few would disagree
Suppose this is how it is and it always will be.
